It is supported by 15 EU member states, including new member states, and thus integrates the entire European optical interferometry community. ...

This page is devoted to information on Supernova 1998T in NGC 3690 . Information on the original web pages for many of these images can be found on the Supernova links web page. ... According to http://www.cv.nrao.edu/~jhibbard/a299/a299.html and http://www.ifa.hawaii.edu/postdocs/vacca/images/arp299buv.html it follows that Arp 299 (aka Mrk 171) is made up of IC 694 (UGC 646471) on the east and NGC 3690 (H-247-1) (UGC 646472) on the west. ...

... Here is a brief outline of the current theory of the events in the early history of the solar system: . A cloud of interstellar gas and/or dust (the "solar nebula") is disturbed and collapses under its own gravity. ... The gas cools off enough for the metal, rock and (far enough from the forming star) ice to condense out into tiny particles. (i.e. some of the gas turns back into dust). ... Once the larger of these particles get big enough to have a nontrivial gravity, their growth accelerates. ...
